failure is defined as material not available to the mechanic at the time of demand; the bin or designated 

storage unit is empty, or there is a limited amount of material left in a bin or designated storage unit to 

satisfy the mechanic’s current need for material; or for kitting, a kit is not on-hand or is 

provided/accepted incomplete. 

WITH 

The Contractor shall achieve a 99.5% FPA rate for bench stock (bins and kits), defined as 99.5% of 

items available at the time of demand from the mechanic throughout the life of the contract. An FPA 

failure is defined as material not available to the mechanic at the time of demand; the bin or designated 

storage unit is empty, there is a limited amount of material left in a bin or designated storage unit to 

satisfy the mechanic’s current need for material; the bins containing replenishment parts contain only 

parts not meeting quality assurance standards; or for kitting, a kit is not on-hand, does not contain all 

items on the List of Materials (LOM) needed to complete the job at the time of kit demand by mechanic, 

or contains non-conforming items. In order for an incomplete kit to count as an FPA failure, the 

Production Support Chief (EPSC/WSSC), or designee, must conditionally accept a partial kit or reject 

the kit. If conditionally accepted or rejected, the kit will be recorded as an FPA failure, and the 
Page 5 of 23

contractor will be required to provide all items needed to complete the kit to close the FPA failure. Each 

FPA failure including kit failures will be reported by the Government in the contractor’s electronic 

reporting system described in the PWS section 4.1.1. 

16. Replace the following on page 47-48 of the RFP: 

FPA is the percentage of material demands, on a per bin or per kit basis, for which the Contractor is 

responsible that were completed in their entirety. If the bins containing replenishment parts contain only 

parts not meeting quality assurance standards, this will be considered as a FPA failure that impacts 

production. Kit fulfillment and completion will be measured as the number of kit requests that were 

satisfied with fully available, complete kits. For kits, an FPA failure is defined as an incomplete kit, or a 

kit that does not contain all items listed on its List of Material (LOM). Performance measurement for 

FPA will begin at site activation and will be measured on a monthly basis for the ALC sites. FPA will 

be applied on an annual basis as the average of the monthly FPA % to determine the incentive / 

disincentive and will be calculated annually. The incentive / disincentive will be calculated against the 

Level of Support CLIN and added/ deducted to / from the Level of Support CLIN payment. The 

incentive / disincentive will be added or deducted from the monthly payment following completion of 

calculation of the incentive / disincentive to be applied at the conclusion of each annual performance 

period. 

WITH 

FPA is the percentage of success in fulfilling material demands, measured on a per mechanic per bin 

basis or per kit basis. The FPA percentage is calculated as the number of unsuccessful attempts by all 

mechanics to obtain a part or kit divided by the sum of the total non-automated bins supported plus the 

number of instances in which a mechanic requests a part from the automated bins or automated systems 

during the month plus the number of kit delivery requests. For example, if the mechanics request parts 

from an automated bin / automated system 5,000 times during the month, the contractor is supporting 

100,000 non-automated part bins, and the customer requests delivery of 3,000 kits, the denominator will 

be 108,000. FPA will be calculated separately for each ALC on a monthly basis. For kits, an FPA 

failure is defined as a kit that is not available at time of customer request, contains non-conforming 

parts, or is conditionally accepted or rejected by the Production Support Chief. Kitting requests will be 

derived from the number of kits delivered during the month plus all open kit FPA failures. 

Performance measurement for FPA will begin at site activation and will be measured on a monthly basis 

for the ALC sites. FPA will be applied on an annual basis per site as the average of the monthly FPA % 

to determine the incentive / disincentive per site and will be calculated annually. The incentive / 

disincentive will be calculated against the Level of Support CLIN and added to / deducted from the 

Level of Support CLIN payment. The incentive / disincentive will be added or deducted from the 

monthly payment following completion of calculation of the incentive / disincentive to be applied at the 

conclusion of each annual performance period.

Any incentive earned by the Contractor may be reduced at the discretion of the KO for excessive 

product quality deficiencies for items delivered from the Contractor’s inventory defined as no more than 

1 PQDR per quarter per ALC for a contractor sourced item. 

18. Replace the following on page 48 of the RFP: 

New items added to the SOI will be permitted one lead-time for supportability expectations, and will not 

be included in the FPA calculation until the lead-time of record has expired. DLA-mandatory sourced 

items such as Critical Safety Items (CSI) or items requiring First Article Testing will be included in the 

FPA calculation. Kits that are provided / accepted as incomplete due to missing or new items within the 

first lead-time are not included in the FPA metric calculation. 

WITH 

New items added to the SOI will be permitted one lead-time for supportability expectations, and will 

not be included in the FPA calculation until the agreed to lead-time has expired. DLA-mandatory 

sourced items such as Critical Safety Items (CSI) or items requiring First Article Testing will be 

included in the FPA calculation. 

Kits that are provided / accepted as incomplete due to missing or new items within the first lead-time 

are not included in the FPA metric calculation. 

FPA failures caused by "frozen" DLA sourced material as referenced in the PWS 3.5.1 will not count

19. Replace the following on page 49 of the RFP: 

The Government will notify the contractor at the time an item is contemplated to be added to this 

contract. If the item being added will be commercially sourced, the contractor will be requested to 

provide pricing for the item. The material cost will be evaluated for reasonableness and negotiated if 

necessary. The negotiated price will be in effect for the remaining life of the contract and will be 

included in all future EPA adjustments. Each time the Government adds NIINs beyond the initial +/- 

5% of items included on the Schedule of Items, the contractor may provide pricing for an adjustment to 

the Bin Management portion of the Management sub-CLIN. The contractor shall provide any 

information requested by the Contracting Officer to justify the requested adjustment. The adjusted Bin 

Management portion of the Management sub-CLIN will be applicable to the adjusted Schedule of Items 

+/- 5%.

personnel required for bin management, and utilize the level of effort requested in the solicitation as 

well as the proposed bin management price to evaluate any future request to increase or decrease the 

level of effort. The adjusted Bin Management portion of the Management sub-CLIN will be applicable 

to the adjusted Schedule of Items +/- 10%. 

In addition, this sub-CLIN includes task order labor as described in the PWS section 2.6. Task Order 

Labor is a contractual provision that is used for temporary increased level of efforts in the IPV program 

at the three ALCs. Temporary is defined as an increased level of effort not to last longer than twelve 

months in duration. Task Order Labor shall not be requested, or issued, on a consecutive or recurring 

basis for the same level of effort in an attempt to circumvent the temporary nature of Task Order Labor. 

Task Order Labor shall be within the scope of the contract, issued for a defined period of performance, 

and be within the maximum dollar value of the contract. The Government will utilize the labor 

categories and rates provided at time of proposal by the contractor to establish and substantiate 

proposals provided by the contractor for task order labor.

5.1 Primary Metric: First Pass Acceptance 

The Contractor shall achieve a 99.5% FPA rate for bench stock locations and kits, defined as 99.5% of 

items available at the time of demand from the mechanic. FPA will not apply to BSLs supporting kitting 

location and will instead be measured at the time of kit delivery. An FPA failure is defined as material 

not available to the mechanic, or in the right quantity, at the time of demand. For example, the bin or 

designated storage unit is empty, or there is a limited amount of material left in a bin or designated 

storage unit to satisfy the mechanic’s current need for material. For kitting, an FPA failure is when a kit 

is not delivered to the customer upon demand or when a kit must be accepted incomplete. The key 

aspects of FPA are the expectation the Contractor is well synchronized with the customer to anticipate 

production demands and the Contractor is managing the supply chain in order to provide material at the 

correct time and in the correct quantities. A disincentive will apply for failure to meet the 99.5% FPA 

metric. FPA metric failures will be measured by the aggregate number of government reported material 

outages within a reporting period. The first FPA evaluation date will be one month after site activation 

and subsequent FPA evaluations will be monthly thereafter. It is the Air Force’s responsibility to notify 

the Contractor of an FPA failure (via the electronic system established by the Contractor), which will be 

verified by the DLA COR. The mechanic will notify their immediate shop supervisor who will, in turn, 

notify the DLA COR. The Contractor will be incentivized to achieve FPA greater than 99.5%. 

5.1.1 Measurement 

FPA is the percentage of material/kit demands, on a per bin/kit basis, for which the Contractor is 

responsible that were completed in their entirety. If the bins/kits containing replenishment parts contain 
Page 18 of 23

only parts not meeting quality assurance standards, this will be considered as a FPA failure that impacts 

production. FPA is measured as ‘one hit per bin/kit’ meaning, if a bin/kit remains unfilled and an FPA 

has already been recorded, the Contractor will not be charged another FPA failure if a mechanic demand 

is placed upon the same bin/kit. Only after the next fill/depletion cycle will the Contractor incur another 

FPA failure on the same bin. Kit fulfillment and completion will be measured as the number of kit 

requests that were satisfied with fully available, complete kits. For kits, a demand failure is defined as a 

kit not being available or does not contain all items listed on the List of Material (LOM) at the time the 

mechanic requests it. Performance measurement for FPA will begin at site activation and will be 

measured on a monthly basis for the ALC sites. FPA will be applied on an annual basis as the average 

of the monthly FPA % to determine the incentive / disincentive. The incentive will be calculated and 

assessed against the Level of Support CLIN. The disincentive will be calculated against the 

Management CLIN and subsequently assessed against the Level of Support CLIN. The incentive 

/disincentive will be added or deducted from the monthly payment following completion of calculation 

of the incentive /disincentive to be applied at the conclusion of each performance period. (Reliance on 

DLA as a source of supply does not relieve the Contractor of the metric requirement with the exception 

of items identified as mandatory DLA sourced). 

5.1.2 Exceptions 

New items added to the SOI will be permitted one lead-time for supportability expectations, and will not 

be included in the FPA calculation until the lead-time of record has expired. Kits that are provided or 

must be accepted as incomplete by the Air Force Production Support Section (WSSC/EPSC) Chiefs or 

their designated representative due to missing or new items within the first lead-time are not considered 

a failure to meet kitting contractual requirements. The Contractor may challenge any instance of FPA 

failure resulting from unavailability of DLA-mandatory sourced items. The Contractor shall provide 

evidence to the contracting officer that appropriate planning and supply chain management actions were 

taken to meet the 99.5% FPA requirement. The contracting officer will conduct a thorough investigation 

and render a decision. The Contractor must notify the contracting officer of any disputed FPA failures 

due to unavailability of DLA -mandatory sourced items within 30 days of the end of the evaluation 

period. Failure to notify the contracting officer within that time will result in the FPA failure being 

deemed to be accurate and correct. 

5.2 Secondary Metric: Mechanic Wait Time (MWT) 

The number of hours it takes the Contractor to remedy an FPA failure is called Mechanic Wait Time 

(MWT). The Contractor shall remedy every instance of 99.5% FPA failure within 24 business hours 

throughout the entire contract period. A tiered disincentive will be applied on all MWT instances that 

exceed 24 hours and MWT will be measured per bin/kit. A separate 8-hour MWT metric will apply to 

no more than 10% of Bench Stock Locations across all three sites identified as critical to support of the 

customer. The number of bench stock locations may be calculated at each site and then applied at a 

single site or it may be calculated at all three sites and divided as the AF chooses across all three sites. 

The aggregate application of MWT at a single site will not exceed 10% in the instance that the other two 

sites do not apply an 8-hr metric. These work areas require a more stringent MWT metric, based on 

workload and planning. These work areas will be identified by the Air Force. The MWT for these work 

areas will be calculated separately, per incident, and a tiered disincentive identified in the Special 

Contract Requirements section of the RFP applied. MWT begins when the Government notifies the 

Contractor POC via their electronic notification system and ends upon Contractor satisfaction of 

mechanic demand as verified by the DLA COR/TA. The Contractor will provide estimated total wait 

time to the customer as soon as it is available. The MWT evaluation date will be upon activation of 

each site and subsequent MWT evaluations will be monthly thereafter. MWT is measured as ‘one hit 

per bin/kit’ meaning once a bin/kit is not filled, the MWT will be recorded. Subsequent demands from a 
Page 19 of 23

different mechanic will not drive additional MWT instances. Only after the next fill/depletion cycle will 

the Contractor incur another MWT on the same bin/kit.

5.2.1 Exceptions 

New items added to the SOI will be permitted one lead-time for supportability expectations, and will not 

be included in the MWT calculation until the lead-time of record has expired. 

WITH 

5.1 Primary Metric: First Pass Acceptance 

The Contractor shall achieve a 99.5% FPA rate for bench stock (bins and kits), defined as 99.5% of 

items available at the time of demand from the mechanic throughout the life of the contract. An FPA 

failure is defined as material not available to the mechanic at the time of demand; the bin or designated 

storage unit is empty, there is a limited amount of material left in a bin or designated storage unit to 

satisfy the mechanic’s current need for material; the bins containing replenishment parts contain only 

parts not meeting quality assurance standards; or for kitting, a kit is not on-hand, is provided 

incomplete (does not contain all items on the List of Materials (LOM)) at the time of kit demand by 

mechanic, or contains non-conforming items. 

In order for an incomplete kit to count as an FPA failure, the Production Support Chief 

(EPSC/WSSC), or designee, must conditionally accept a partial kit or reject the kit. Each FPA bin / kit 

failure will be reported by the Government in the contractor’s electronic reporting system described in 

the PWS section 4.1.1. 

An incentive will apply for exceeding a 99.9% FPA, and a disincentive will apply for failure to meet 

99.5% FPA. FPA metric failures will be measured by the aggregate number of government reported 

material outages within a monthly reporting period. The first FPA evaluation date will be one month 

after site activation and subsequent FPA evaluations will be monthly thereafter. 

FPA failures caused by "frozen" DLA sourced material will not count against the contract metrics. 

5.1.1 Measurement 

FPA is the percentage of success in fulfilling material demands, measured on a per mechanic per bin 

basis or per kit basis. The FPA percentage is calculated as the number of unsuccessful attempts by all 

mechanics to obtain a part or kit divided by the sum of the total non-automated bins supported plus the 

number of instances in which a mechanic requests a part from the automated bins or automated 

systems during the month plus the number of kit delivery requests. For example, if the mechanics 

request parts from an automated bin / automated system 5,000 times during the month, the contractor 

is supporting 100,000 non-automated part bins, and the customer requests delivery of 3,000 kits, the 

denominator will be 108,000. FPA will be calculated separately for each ALC on a monthly basis. 

For kits, an FPA failure is defined as a kit that is not available at time of customer request, contains 

non-conforming parts, or is conditionally accepted by the Production Support Chief. Kitting requests 

will be derived from the number of kits delivered plus all kit FPA failures recorded during the month, 

which will also include any kit delivery failures open from previous months. 

Performance measurement for FPA will begin at site activation and will be measured on a monthly 
Page 20 of 23

basis for the ALC sites. FPA will be applied on an annual basis as the average of the monthly FPA % 

to determine the incentive / disincentive and will be calculated annually. The incentive / disincentive 

will be calculated against the Level of Support CLIN and added to / deducted from the Level of 

Support CLIN payment. The incentive / disincentive will be added or deducted from the monthly 

payment following completion of calculation of the incentive / disincentive to be applied at the 

conclusion of each annual performance period. 

5.1.2 Exceptions 

New items added to the SOI will be permitted one lead-time for supportability expectations, and will 

not be included in the FPA calculation until the agreed to lead-time has expired. DLA-mandatory 

sourced items such as Critical Safety Items (CSI) or items requiring First Article Testing will be 

included in the FPA calculation. 

Kits that are accepted as incomplete due to missing or new items within the first lead-time are not 

included in the FPA metric calculation. 

5.2 Secondary Metric: Mechanic Wait Time (MWT) 

The number of hours it takes the Contractor to remedy an FPA failure is called Mechanic Wait Time 

(MWT). MWT is calculated as the time it takes the Contractor to fill a bin / kit once it has an FPA 

failure, measured as the difference between the time the first FPA failure for a bin / kit is reported to the 

Contractor and when all FPA failures for the bin / kit have been remedied by the Contractor as verified 

by the COR. The contractor shall remedy every instance of FPA failure within 24 hours throughout the 

entire contract period. Note: A separate 8-hour MWT metric will apply at Warner Robins for the bins 

identified in Attachment 24 only. 

 

A tiered disincentive will be applied per bin / kit on which an FPA failure occurs that exceeds the 8 or 

24 hour metric. An additional disincentive will apply for every 30 days in which an MWT bin / kit 

instance remains open. The MWT evaluation will begin upon site activation and subsequent MWT 

evaluations will be monthly thereafter. 

5.2.1 Exceptions 

Items excluded from the FPA metric are excluded from the MWT disincentive. 

NSNs added after contract award will be granted a full Production Lead Time (PLT) based on PLT 

agreed at time of addition prior to being subject to the FPA and MWT metrics.

7.3 Virtual Cribs 

The Contractor will manage virtual cribs (VCs) at each ALC. The VCs will initially consist of an Air 

Force provided, controlled area utilizing a handheld scanner linked to the AutoCrib software/database. 

However, the VCs may be expanded to other areas to allow for enhanced inventory / kit tracking 

capabilities along with Autocrib. The virtual cribs will be used to store, manage, and issue any excess 

material and may be utilized to track material returns. VCs will be used during transition to track 

residual material from the Gen II contract and may be utilized in the return process. Material stored in 

the VCs must be incorporated into the Sourcing Order of Priority in para 3.3.1. Material in the VCs will 

be monitored by the Contractor and Government for usage. Any items removed from the SOI or 

determined to be in excess of realistic demands will be identified by the Contractor for review and 

possible disposition by the Air Force. In addition, the VCs may later be incorporated with kitting to 

allow for enhanced tracking capabilities of requests, deliveries, and FPA failures. 

7.5 AutoCrib Changes 

The Contractor will be able to suggest changes to the min/max levels to the Government. The Contractor 

may propose changes to the AutoCrib machine system to the Government for approval via e-mail on the 

last business day of the week by site. The Air Force will acknowledge the request within one business 

day and notify the Contractor of its decision to approve or reject the change with 4 business days after 

acknowledgement. If the change is approved, the Air Force will make the change within 5 business 

days of notification of acceptance. 

7.9 Bin-to-Bin Transfer Process 

When an item needs to be transferred into or out of an automated location the following procedures will 

be utilized: 

 Automated Bin to Automated Bin: Material Handler will Issue the material to be moved with the 

Transfer badge. The material will be delivered to the location that is in need of the transfer and 

put away with the Transfer badge using a Physical transaction. 
Page 22 of 23

 Open Bin to Automated: Material will be delivered from the Open Bin to the Automated 

Location and put away with the Transfer Badge using the Physical transaction. 

 Automated Bin to Open Bin: Material handler will Issue with the Transfer badge and deliver to 

the Open Bin to be put away. 

The Contractor will be responsible to ensure there are no open Purchase Orders on Automated Bins 

where material is being transferred into. 

The Material Handler will use their regular badge to accomplish normal Stocking and Physical 

transactions for day to day operations. The PoU Office will issue Transfer badges to Contractor 

personnel. Badges will be issued with a 1297 and tracked. The Transfer badge will only be used to 

accomplish Bin-to-Bin transfers. 

7.10 Returns 

Any material that can be identified by the contractor is placed back in the AutoCrib up to the maximum 

identified, or if it will not fit, is held by the contractor for 90 days and incorporated in the next fill. If the 

material cannot be used within 90 days, it is passed back to the AF for disposition. Any material that 

cannot be identified or is deficient will be passed to the AF for disposition. 

57. Replace the following on page 105 of the RFP: 

The phasing of activation of various site/shops shall occur at one site every 30 days beginning 90 days 

after contract award. A brown out period shall occur during the transition of each site until 30 days 

thereafter in which the material included in the SOI and the locations of the bins at the ALC shall not 

change. Total accountability for the operational and material requirements for the program shall not 

exceed 180 days from contract effective date. The Contractor shall utilize the data provided throughout 

the transition period as well as data it collects during transition of each site to provide a gap analysis to 

DLA and the AF of potential shortfalls in the supply chain that could impact production. 

The Contractor shall assume responsibility for maintenance of existing bench stock locations and bins 

and all remaining inventory in the bins. By the date of each site activation after award, the Contractor 

will have conducted a gap analysis and identified any long lead time items that could potentially become
